Where exactly do earthquakes start?

The earth is made out of various plates. These plates constantly move around and shift their places. In short, there are always earthquakes but we do not feel them because of the low amplitude. When there is high disturbance in the climate these plates produce very high amplitude which cause devastating earthquakes. Earth is only 30% of land so there are very less earthquakes on land than water, which one could argue that's the reason for all these tsunamis and floods.
